Scans Clear Rafael Leao of Muscle Tear, Supercoppa Return Targeted

The club now aims to have him back on December 18 for Napoli in Riyadh after tests ruled out a lesion.

Overview

  • Leao left around the 31st minute against Torino with adductor pain and was substituted.
  • Milan said imaging showed no muscle damage to the right adductor and that he has begun treatment for inflammation.
  • His participation against Sassuolo on December 14 is doubtful, with the Supercoppa semifinal on December 18 set as the target for his return.
  • This setback comes after a calf issue earlier this season that sidelined him following a Coppa Italia injury against Bari.
  • Reporting situates his case within a wider run of Serie A muscle problems tied to shooting actions, citing recent injuries to Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, Paulo Dybala and Dusan Vlahovic.
